CHILLY" CONNERS,
The Minneapolis POstOfIAce RObbeF
Tried.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 16.-John
W.0'Oonner, better known as Billy"
Corners, was held to the federal
grand jury today by Commission r
Herne on the charge that he,
with Bobby" Adams, participated
in tie Minneapolis postofIice rob-
berry. The bail was placed at 5000.
In the examination Ex- Postmaster
Larsway, Of Minneapolis, testified to
the robbing of the postoffice on the
night of July 10, 1886, and identified
the stamps produced by Inspector
Kidder. ohm P, Hoy, detective
from Minneapolis, said be saw
O'Conner at Minneapolis at the time
of the robbery in company with
Bobby" Adams, and at st. Paul the
morning after the burglary. The
most direct evidence against the
prisoner was given by Attorney A..
B. LOOMS, of Minneapolis. That
gentleman said he saw Bobby"
Adams aud O'Conner in a restaurant
nearly opposite the postoffice at late
hour on the night the burglary was
committed. District Attorney Ewing
then rested the prosecution, when
Mrs. Mary O'Conner, mother OF the
prisoner, took the stand and said her
son was in Chicago at the time the
burglary was committed. On cross
examination, however, she became
mixed, and admitted that at one time
her son was out Of the city. 1t was
intimated by the prosecution that
they possessed confession of Bob
by" Adams, which implicated o Con-
ner in the burglary.

A KIDNAPPED DAUGHTER
Found by Her Father. After y Bearcl,
OfTweIVe Years.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, April 16.-A
middle aged gentleman and a young
lady left the Industrial School in this
city last evening and took berths in
a sleeper on a through western train
at $40 o'clock, bound for San Fran
cisco. The gentleman was tall and
handsome. His companion was his
daughter, Mabel, a comely girl Of 16
summers, who for twelve years has
been separated from her father, dur
ing which time he has searched the
world over for her. In the early part
of last February Mr.. Willio, the
father, saw an item in a dramatic
journal in New York which led him
to believe that 3 variety actress,
Mile Lola, knew the whereabouts Of
his children. He found Mile Lola
in San Francisco. She refused to
give any information, and he accord
ingly caused her arrest, and under
cOmpulsion she admitted that she
had taken the little girls from their
home. She intended to make a va
riety actress Of Mabel, but found the
girl unable to become one on account
Of physical troubles, and she left her
in Rochester eight years ago, where
she has been since. Her sister can
not be found. Mr.. Willie is now q
wealthy Californian, and lives in San
Francisco.

that track laying for the year 1887
will aggregate from 5000 to 10000
miles. But q new element Of unoer-
tainty is to be recognized this year,
namely, the effect Of the interstate
commerce law upon new enterprises.
The large mileage already laid down
is to be credited chiefly to the
great railway companies whose ar
rangements for building branches
and extensions had already been
made before the law was enacted,
and who could not afford to abandon
these enterprises whatever the effect
OF the law might prove to be. OF
the 1910 already laid nearly halt is
in the Indian Territory and the State
of Texas, each of which has added
about $50 miles. Kansas shows an ad-
dition of nearly 100 miles and Oalifor.
MIA about seventy miles. The re-
naming new mileage is furnished BY
numerous extensions scattered
throughout different States.

promised and 3 are pending.
About 40 strikes we're for higher
wages, and about 20 against re-
auctions, while about rs were by
organized" workingmen against
others whose discharge was de-
manded, against working upon ma
terial handled by non-union men,
etc. The number of hands thrown
out of work by these various trou-
bles was 1923, and their loss in
wages is placed at 81, 22l $50, while
in twenty-five instances none of the
hands who struck recovered their
old places and in about fifty cases
only portion of them. The loss to
the employers cannot be closely esti-
mated, but is evidently less than has
been generally supposed, as in a
number of cases they were not averse
to temporary cessation of produO-
ton. The Ledger is inclined to think
that the workingmen have profted by
the lesson, aud that there will be
fewer strikes in future.

JACK AORRISSEY, HORsENAN.
Remark able Career OF she owner OF
"MOntana Regent"

The Omaha Republican sketches tbs
career Of John d. Morrissey, owner o.
the now celebrated racer Montana Re
gent, with wonderful correctness in all
particulars, fave the challenge tc
Lucky haldwin to match his horae
against Volante. That challenge came
from James Murp6y, Mr.. Morrissey's
trainer, and the latter had nothing
whatever to do with it save to back
Mr.. Murphy's judgment to any ex'
tent. When in this city few weeks
ago, Mr. Morrissey was not at sll san.
guine of the outcome of the proposed
race between Montana Regent and
Volante. The sketch Is as follows
A y'ar ago very few people residing
outside the lines OF Colorado bad
heard OF John D. Morrlesey. Five
years ago Morrissey was working for
s day in one of the LFadville mines.
Today his check for $4,000, 600 W II be
honored by any bank in the country,
and he owns sjme of thu richest min
Ing property in the Centennial State.
His ca reer has been as remarkable as
that of the lucky San franciscan,
whose money he is yearnlng to win.
Morrissey is an Irishman about 81
years OF age. When he arrived in
Leadvills, eight or nine years ago, he
could neither read nor write. His
illitsracy did not trouble him much
until he began 10 climb the ladder to
wealth, and was forced by circum-
stances to mingle with the brains, cul-
ture and capital OF the great Carbon
ate camp. Then he employed pri-
vate tutor and etudied hard until he
was able to sign his name and read the
signatures OF Others. Morrieeey' 3
a'csnsion to aallence was very
rapid. He learned practical min
ing at Georgetown, COL, and WAS
working as a practical miner in the
Grown Point properly a; Leadvile
when 1t was closed down and offered
for sale by disgusted stockholders.
One Of these was Joseph Reynolds, Of
Chicago, kuo wn to fame as Diamond
Joe" and "The Steamboat King"
Morrissey whispered something to
him, and Reynolds eaid: go ahead,
and you will receive one-third OF all
Lne ore you turn out. morrle6ey
went aht az, and after working hard
six months uncovered the rich est
body of wire silver bearing ore ever
discovered in the State. From that
m }ment fortune smiled on him. AS
fast as he made money he invested it.
The Grown Point is still pouring out
wealth for him, and he receives q

ways been lover and pro.
moter of square sports When 8 work
ing miner he was prominent in the
wrestling and boxing matches held
a mot daily at Leadville, and as his
fortunes increased, ne rode his hobby
higher. About tnres years ego he
began to speculate on the turf and
made money "hand over fist" Last

new main track have been laid on
tOrty-nine different lines in twenty

Faota About Fi.her.

1t was in the year 1741 that the art
of fish culture was discovered by one
jacob, a wealthy landed proprietor,
living at Hohenhausen, in North
western Germany. He it was who
first took the eggs ola female trout,
fertilizing them with the milt Of the
male and then Matching the m in
boxes with running water. In 1850
Prof. Rathke, of Konigsberg, discoy-
cred the reproductive organs in fe-
male eel, and not until 1874 was it
demonstrated that there was, Jan eel
that differed from the female sufi-
GENTLY to be called a male. The
salmon spawns the same as the trout,
belonging, as it does, to the same
family of fish. The carp family de-
posit their eggs upon little twigs or
roots ON the borders of the pond, be-
ing glutiuous or adhesive. They are
left there to take their chances, with

tied by the black bass and other

stricken with hunger, and having
nothing handy to eat, she will not
hesitate to eat her own batch Of eggs.

English-Australlan Rabbits.

If the English rabbit shall
prove as fecund and destructive in this
country as in Australia, it is to-day our
greatest danger. From the Times Demo
crat We learn that "a pair will boast of
1000, 900 descendants in the short space
of two and half years."
The following which we also find in
the Times Democrat abundantly shows
their destructiveness:
A tract of 100000 acres of land in
Victoria, half as large as the State of
South Carolina, has been rendered
worthless and uninhabitable by the rab-
once existed, where their were orchards
of every kind, have been abandoned
before the invasion of these rodents. In
this tract, which formerly supported
hundreds of thousands of sheep, the
losses aggregate $4,000,000 in the last
five years; and in the colony of Victoria
alone over $15,000,000 This is only
one colony. The others have suffered
fully as severely. In South Australia,
last year, $l35, 600 was paid for the
destruction of rabbits, $4,000 for
scalps, and $230,000 levied in the dis
tricts to be used for the same objects, in
addition to large sums spent by farmers
and ranchmen on their own holdings !;
indeed, the owner of one estate is said
to have expended $4,000 fighting the
rabbits.
What surprises us is that some sur
plus-sq uanderer does not propose an ap
preparation of some small amount like
SOC, 100000 to surround the United
States with wire netting.

Senator Turpie VIII be Seated.

Many of the Republican journals have :.
been facilitating themselves that the next
Senate viii be composed of at least
thirty-nine Republican mbers, who
will have the power, whether they exer- |
else it or not, to prevent the seating of
Senator Turpie, of Indiana The New
York Tribune has had more than one
editorial on the subject plainly suggest
ing that it will be the duty of the Re
publican majority to exclude Senator
Turpie, who it claims was elected by
fraud.
What is surprising is that it has never
occurred to the Tribune and others, that
when the next Senate meets there will
be just fifty members holding over
qualified to take their seats. OF these
rs are Democrats and 25 Republicans.
In addition to these there will be twenty
six Senators asking to be sworn, of whom
II will be Democrats and Il Republi-
cans. Among those asking to be sworn

1t is easy enough to see that if the 25

Is Republicans Senator Turpie, as well
as the Democratic Senator TO be elected
from New Jersey, may be kept out in
definitely. But what if the Democrats
shall say that the new Senators shall be
sworn all at once or two at time-one
Republican and one Democrat? The
Republicans may decline to make such
an arrangement, but whether they shall
do so or not, it is certain that having
just as many Senators already sworn as
the Democrats, and no more, they will
be powerless to take any step without
the agreement of the Democrats. The
Republicans may keep Senator Turpit
from taking his seat just as they may
keep Hearst Gray, George, Cockrell
Bate and others rom taking their seats
but the Democrats may also keep Haw
ley, Hale, Dawes, Sherman, Edmund
and others from taking their seats.

Prohibition In Atlanta.

EDITOR CLARION. notice in this weeks
CLARION letter from u. D." on the /
above subject. He claims that prohibition |
in Atlanta is a failure. ] have noticed |
statements in other papers to the same sf- |
feet. Being anxious to know the truth |
about the matter, / wrote last week to sew
eral prominent men in Atlanta, not know
ing how they stood on the prohibition
question. / have had two answers. /
asked the following questions, and the
answers here affixed were given by the ed
ito- Of the Sunny South
/. Is prohibition in Atlanta failure
Ans. BY no means grand success.
2. Has drunkenness increased ? Ans.
Not one-tenth az much as before.
8. Has crime increased ? Ans. In no
respect-the city is peaceable and orderly.
4. Has business diminished? Ans. In
no respect, except the liquor business.
.. How do your leading men regard the
law? 4ns As a success and great benefit
| TO the town.
| / also wrote to the Mayor of Atlanta.
He referred my letter to Messrs. Smith &
Dallas, real estate agents, and their an
J swers were equally as strong, except on the
last two questions, and here they were
entirely satisfactory. They said that bus
mess in some lines had probably been in
jured little by parties carrying their
produce to other places where they could
get whisky. But they addedS"this is
! very small consideration-very indeed
and in general it may be truthfully said
that business has not been injured"
AS to the leading men of Atlanta, they
said that some of them regarded the law as
unwise and wrong, but that most OF them,
at least two-thirds, believed the law good
one.
Now, Mr.. Editor, who is ~. d. ?" the
men from whom / quote are prominent
men, men who ought to know, and men
who are willing to come out and sign their
names in full and stand by what they say.
There are some of US who want to know
the truth, on whichever side it lies. Has
not the public right to know the truth
upon this question? And yet when bald
statements, made by the-Lord- knows-who
upon aquestion so vexed and misrepre
scented, are sent out TO the people, are moi
some people likely to be deceived? The
condition OF affairs in Atlanta is a matter
of fact, and in my opinion no statement
ought to be published on either side except
from men whose judgment and truthful
ness will do to trust, and then they certain
ly ought to sign their names so that III
every case the people will know who
: speaks.
81. D." may aim to be fair and truthful
but there are men of knotCn prominence
and truthfulness in the city who make
very different statements from his. Some
of us can't help considering the fact tina
the editor of the Sunny South, and Messrs
Smith d Dallas are known and truthful
e men, while ~. D." 'lingers lonesome il
